Above the gray fog, Klein, who was sitting in the position of The Fool, waved and summoned the Darkless Cross.

This copper-green cross is tied to a seemingly ordinary button, but a layer of crystal clear particles that give people a heavy and majestic feeling has precipitated on the surface of the button.

This is the "Judge" button of "Hermit" Cattleya. It was reserved for "Judge" Hugh at a price of 3,500 pounds, so "Admiral of the Stars" sacrificed it to Mr. "Fool" in advance, asking this great being to let his angels help smash it.

At the Tarot meeting on Monday, "Judge" Hugh also booked the "Judge" potion formula at an asking price of 2,000 pounds.

According to the agreement, "Justice" Audrey cannot share everything obtained from exploring "Groselle's Travels" except knowledge. She only provided free help in the previous killing of Hvin Rambis. As for "Star" Leonard, he has the power to sell potion formulas and historical knowledge, but it is obvious that "Judgment" Xio trusts "World" Gehrman Sparrow more.

"It's almost analyzed. Now we can safely exchange the Darkless Cross with Little Sun... In the future, if they have similar needs, they will definitely prefer to trade with Little Sun instead of asking Mr. Fool for help. No one dares to disturb a secret existence frequently unless there is really no other way...

"When Little Sun has a chance to become a demigod and turns Darkless Cross into a Beyonder characteristic, I should also be at Sequence 3 and can call upon more power from this mysterious space above the gray fog and directly shatter the seal...

"After being 'disinfected' by the gray fog, Adam should not be able to rely on the 'Darkless Cross' to lock onto the little 'Sun'. However, even if he can find it, it's not a serious matter. My brother Amon has long known that the little 'Sun' is connected to Mr. 'Fool'...

“Well, Amon seems to be able to enter and exit the ‘God-Forsaken Land’ freely. I wonder if Adam can…” Klein separated the “Darkless Cross” from the button that began to praise the sun, and watched the Beyonder characteristics condense while waiting for the little “sun” to perform the sacrifice and bestowal ceremony.

Silver City, inside the round tower.

Derrick Berg arranged the ceremony and watched as a puppet made of black clay approached with a plain wooden cane and placed it on the altar.

After earnest prayer and a lot of hard work, the door of illusory sacrifice and gift opened, took away the "Staff of Life", and left behind a cross covered with verdigris and spikes.

At the same time, the name, usage, and negative effects of the cross suddenly appeared in Derrick's mind.

He suppressed his excitement and thanked Mr. Fool first before ending the ceremony. He walked to the front of the altar, picked up the Darkless Cross, and looked at it again and again.

After cleaning up the scene, Derrick left, walked across the street, and knocked on the chief's door.

"Come in." Colin Iliad's voice came out in a deep voice.

Derrick turned the handle, pushed open the door, walked in, and frankly displayed the copper-green cross:

"Your Excellency, this is the relic of the Lord that I mentioned before. It is called the 'Darkless Cross'. The way to use it is to let the thorns on it be stained with the blood of the holder."

This time he deliberately changed the relic into a legacy.

The gray-haired Colin had already cast his eyes over when Derrick took out the ancient cross. After listening to the introduction, he walked over with a slightly heavy step, took the item, and looked at it over and over again.

Finally, Colin Iliad pressed his thumb directly on a thorn and let the bright red blood flow out.

The mottled patina began to peel off, and the "No Dark Cross" revealed a solid entity composed of pure light, illuminating the entire room without any darkness.

After an indescribable sacred meaning filled the surrounding area, Colin loosened his fingers, sighed and said:

"This is indeed the Lord's item..."

Although he was born more than 2,000 years after Silver City was "abandoned", and it was impossible for him to feel the breath of the gods, this city-state still retained many things used to worship the Creator. Every time there was a harvest of black-faced grass, they would be invited out and added to the ceremony. By comparing with these items, Colin Iliad could almost confirm the origin of the cross in his hand.

Derrick wanted to respond to this, but the heavy meaning in the chief's words suddenly weighed on his heart, making him unable to speak.

Colin Iliad did not add anything, just stood there silently holding the Darkless Cross.

After several dozen seconds, the Chief of Silver City finally broke the silence and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

“The return of the Lord’s items is a sign, a harbinger of the dawn that will come for us.

"Please keep this 'Darkless Cross' with me for a while. I will call all the elders currently in the city to discuss the matter and show this item to them.

"Haha, even I can't dispose of a Saint-level sealed object at will. Since I lost the 'Staff of Life', I must explain to the other elders and ask for punishment. You must remember that as a chief, you must be decisive in making temporary decisions and have the courage to bear the corresponding responsibilities. You can't think of escaping punishment just because you think it's good for Silver City. Maybe you are right this time, but you can't guarantee that you will be right every time.

"Don't worry, this 'No Dark Cross' will return to you in the end."

What the Chief said is so profound... Let's ask Mr. "The Hanged Man" to explain it at the next Tarot gathering... Derrick instinctively wanted to raise his right hand and scratch the back of his head, but he finally held back and told Colin Iliad about the negative effects of "No Dark Cross".

Backlund, North District, 160 Böklund Street.

Klein sacrificed the "winner" Enuni to the gray fog to "keep the doll fresh" so that he could continue to use it later. He planned to let the "Fallen Count" Qonas Kilger wear the "Flower of Blood" ring and hold the "Staff of Life" to create a little horror and weirdness in daily life from time to time to help him speed up the digestion of potions. In this way, Enuni would not be able to hide in Qonas' stomach with the help of the "Flower of Blood" ring, and would have to hide elsewhere. This would be more troublesome, so it would be better to throw it above the gray fog first. After all, Klein could make an ordinary doll whenever he wanted.

Why does it feel weird to put the puppet in the "fresh cabinet"? I'm not acting in a horror movie... But it does fit the name of "Strange Mage". Well, Zaratul and the angel from the Antigonus family both hung the puppets up to "air dry". I'm much better than them! After rubbing his chin, Klein stuffed the ordinary wooden cane into a special cane he bought from Miss "Judgment".

This cane is hollow and can hold a not-too-wide long sword, which Klein uses to hide the "Staff of Life".

After finishing these things, he asked his personal servant, who appeared to be Enuni but was actually Qiunas, to take the cane away, and returned to the next room. He washed himself, went to bed, and got into the quilt.

While enjoying a relaxing and wonderful sleep, Klein was suddenly inspired. He sat up abruptly and cast his gaze towards the attached balcony.

The curtains there were not completely drawn, so one could see what was happening outside.

Outside the window was a dark green scene, with branches and vines growing everywhere and flowers overlapping in layers, so much so that Klein suspected he had been teleported into a forest.

“This…” Klein’s mouth twitched slightly, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.

He got out of bed, walked quickly to the balcony, and quickly opened the curtains.

What came into his sight was no longer the garden of Dwayne Dantès's mansion, but a lush "forest".

“So this means that the surrounding area is full of vitality, and both animals and plants grow vigorously and reproduce rapidly? Isn’t this a little too fast?” Klein’s expression suddenly became a little dull.

When he had previously divined to confirm the corresponding abilities and negative effects of the "Staff of Life", he had "seen" a similar picture, but the revelation he had gained was that it would not cause any harm to the surroundings, so he believed that growth and reproduction was a relatively long cycle that could be effectively controlled, and that one would have to indulge for a very long time before a scene like the one before him would appear.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Klein observed all the "spiritual lines" in the surrounding area and found that humans were not affected at all, but the number of rats, cockroaches, etc. increased significantly.

This result made him feel relieved. He looked at the "forest" outside the window and sighed silently:

"It's really harmless, it's just a little exaggerated... Most of the time, we still have to stay above the gray fog..."

Ten seconds later, figures appeared one after another in the "forest". Some of them were very thin, some were thicker. They were all "wearing" black windbreakers, with extremely flat faces, without eyebrows, eyes, nose or mouth.

These figures were either squatting or standing, busy burning weeds, cutting vines, and picking extra flowers in this quiet night.

The next morning, butler Walter got up early as usual and opened the window.

The garden outside was bathed in morning mist, with drops of dew condensing and emitting an unusually fresh scent.

“Better than yesterday…” Walter nodded slightly and praised the two gardeners.

This lively scene made him feel a little restless and he missed his wife inexplicably, so he left the room, took a look around, arranged various matters, and finally waited at the door of the restaurant.

Not long after, his employer Dwayne Dantes came down from the third floor with his personal valet Enuni.

Walter stepped forward and saluted, talking about today's arrangements, and then took the initiative to mention:

"Sir, I want to use one of my vacation days this month."

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw the skin on the neck of the mixed-race servant behind his employer cracked, revealing a black eye.

Walter was startled and almost stepped back, but after he blinked, he found that there were no strange eyes on Enuni's neck.

It must be that I didn’t sleep well last night and had some strange dreams, which caused me to be a little distracted and have hallucinations… Walter quickly gathered his thoughts and lowered his head slightly.

Klein apologized in his heart and nodded slightly:

"No problem, enjoy your day with your family."

ps2: I recommend a book, "New Theory of Fengshen", which has nothing to do with the Honghuang flow, it is a self-reconstructed story of Fengshen.
